Installed flap weldment
Still feeling under the weather today. I just did a little tinkering. Since the seat pans are permanently in place, I installed the flap weldment. I had to redrill a couple of holes in the baggage floor, since I replaced it a while back. The plans call for nut plates for the center flap weldment block, but I can’t see why. It’s much easier to just use Nyloc nuts, so that’s what I did.
I also re-installed the blocks for the canopy pivot points, and secured the avionics stack to the subpanel. The panel feels quite solid. So far I’m planning on leaving out the ribs between the panel and subpanel, but I can always add them later.
I thought a bit about the wiring runs along the firewall. I’m going to run them up either side of the firewall recess (which I didn’t need) and then through the shelf I just installed. Should work out pretty good.
